Did you know that you can preview an installed WP theme without having to install a new plugin?
This would be useful if you’re switching over a WP site to a theme that’s a work in progress but didn’t want public visitors to see it yet.
Simple add this to the end of your published site’s URL:
?preview=1&template=twentyten&stylesheet=twentyten
For example, this site with the Twenty Ten theme would be:
http://wpverse.com/?preview=1&template=twentyten&stylesheet=twentyten
Simply replace the name of your theme in the example after both template and stylesheet equal (=) signs. What if you’re not sure what the exact theme name is – for example if the theme name has spaces in it? To find out, go to the “Manage Themes” page, then hover your mouse over the “Activate” button of the theme you want to try out. In the bottom status bar of your browser, you’ll see the theme name that you’ll want to use.
